nobody wants anything to do

nearly half a million dollars in

what Miss Cleveland SAYS.

Have, first of all, a home! No
matter what your career, let it
start from the home and return
to the home. There is no meas
uring the length of woman's
lever; nor how it will and must
reach and raise in all the great
affairs of the world, in the areas
Of church and state and society.
But however the lever lengthens
and moves and upheaves, in the
spacious fields of the future, its
fulcrum can never change its
place or base; and that fulcrum
is the home.

The Shadow of the Shad.

Hail to the shad Behold him with
us. He comes from North Carolina,
on ice, and almost as fresh as when
seined in our own beloved Delaware.
His scales are glistening, his gills are
red, his eyes are bright. He is fresh.
He is also somewhat high in price, but
no matter for that. His broad back,
thick with fat, suggests the fragrant
OrdOrs of the "plank" or the brOiler.
His tail, wet with the brine of the
South, lies out in all symmetry, ftly
finishing off his cOmely figure.
Who does not love the shad-in any
style, as the countryman said of his
best girl? Planked, when fresh caught,
this kingly fish of our rivers is a nOrsel
fit to make monarch's mouth water,
or an epicure tremble for joy. Broiled
with the dainty slices of lemon, and
mayhap few sprigs of watercress, the
shad appeals to all that is nOble-and
hungry-within us. Even baked he is
not to be despised, though in this fash
ion he is not seen at his best.
The Californian may boast of his
royal samon, the man from Maine may
babble of brook trout, the native of
New Orleans may tell of pOmpanO and
the inhabitants of any of the lake cities
may discourse of their transcendent
white fish but, as for us, give us our
own beloved shad, with all his bones
and all his inimitable flavor, and let
the benighted elsewhere linger in the
fond delusien that they know what
princely fish really are.-PhiIddelphG

Report Of the Insurance Commits
Sioner.

The fourth biennial report of Insur-
ance Commissioner Pratt gives the
number of companies doing business in
the State in 1885 at rs. and in 1886 at
~. The revenue to the State from
these companies was in 1885, 81, ,359. "a:
and in 1886, $4,24383. The total
amount Of premiums received by fire
companies doing business in this State
i'll 1885 was $2O3, 3,47O.7O; and the
amount of losses paid, Sl15,258.7l. The
report states that all the companies ad.
mitled to do business in the State are
upon firm foundation and entitled to
the confidence of the citizens. The re-
port suggests II uniform time for the
expiration of the license of insurance
agents, and asks for legislation that
will enable the department to issue
fractional licenses. The report closes
as follows: During the wear 1885
there was admitted To the State life
Insurance company to transact the
business of what is known as industrial
insurance, aud Is mainly for the benefit
of working people and those of moder-
ate means, the policies being mainly
for sums of $40, up to $780, As the
premiums are payable weekly to
agents, the plan necessitates the en-
plOyment of a large number of colIec-
tion agents. To procure a license at a
cost of $50 for each of these agents
would entail such expense upon the
business as to exclude it from the State.
l therefore recommend that in the in
terest of those who are deprived of the
opportunity of making provision by in
surance for those who are dependent
upon them, except in companies inSur-
ing for small amounts, that some pro-
vision be made which will enable COM
panies of this class to transact their
numerOusagents, which their requires" J."

They met at her house in Philadelphia
on Wednesday last and got into quar-

chair and killing Gains by repeated
blows with it. Then he threw the
body of the victim into the cellar of the

cleaver, returned and chopped the
head and limbs off the body of the
dead man, wrapped all up in separate

Three men entered the house of John
BOrtmas, aged 20 years, near Dubois,
Pa, on Friday evening, and ordered
Bortmas to reveal the hiding place of
his money, which he steadily refused
to do. The intruders placed a rope
around BOrtmas's neck, and, throwing
it over door, lifted him three times of
the floor, and applied live Goals to the
unfortunate mans feet, whereupon he
yielded and directed the robbers to a
spot where he had concealed 1912.
Subsequent tOrtures failed TO extort
futher revelations, and the thieves de-
parted, leaving behind 1000 which
BOrtmas had concealed under the floor.
Bortmas was left tied to a bedpOst, and
was released next morning by neigh
bOrs attracted by his cries.
